A public hearing to consider re-zoning part of the 1600 block of 9th street failed to draw any opposition at the meeting itself, but Commissioner Bogdhan cited protest letters from 7 area residents who were against the change and commissioners subsequently voted to deny the request.
Woodward resident Bruce Pak had petitioned for a change of zoning from C-O (Commercial Office District) to C-2 (General Commercial District) so that he would be able to place a sign on the property advertising his business. The property is presently used as rental property and the current zoning ordinance prohibits the construction of such a sign.
Commissioners voted unanimously to deny the petition.
